Intake of fish, poultry, and eggs is not significantly associated with incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in older adults.

You can likely continue to eat fish, poultry, and eggs without increasing your risk of heart disease or stroke, according to this study of older adults. These foods do not show the same negative association with cardiovascular health that red meat does. Focus on reducing red meat intake while maintaining these other protein sources.
